Re: If you sail Lake Huron, say Hi!

Rolled through there once or twice on the mac race. I sail out of the Clinton River in Lake St. Clair. Dont feel bad about the lack of representation, Lake St. Clair is not even on the list.

I can help people that want to sail the North Channel.

Re: If you sail Lake Huron, say Hi!

I have just started sailing this year. I bought a Venture 222 this summer. I have been out twice on Huron from Lexington. I love it so far. Looking forward to getting out more next year.

How do the facilities/rates compare to sarnia for slips/moorings in Bayfield?

We spent many years in a cottage just south of the OPP station south of Goderich and walked the pier and along the shorline at the base of the hill in Bayfield, many, many times over the past 25 years admiring the sailboats, and wishing someday. Now finally we're living that dream.

Bayfiled's a nice town, favorite watering hole was the hotel / pub at the East end of the main road and my hang-out while my wife did the touristy shops etc.

Ya Bayfield has a few good "watering holes"
Here we are on a local sail Monday afternoon.YouTube - M4V07234

"Doc" Bob,
We made the trip from Lake St. Clair to Northport this week. Had a big blow Wednesday near Gravelly Shoal with sustained 25kts and gusts to 31kts. We were motoring under bare poles when it hit and it lasted about 45 minutes.
We considered going into the Augres River instead of Northport 'cause of the meager channel there. At 5:45pm I called on the VHF for depth information at the river mouth but couldn't raise anyone at the State dock or at the Augres Yacht Club. I even called the State Dock on the cell phone and no answer. We finally entered Northport after the wind and waves subsided.
Can you tell me the depth at the mouth for future reference? Also, do you know the status of the State Dock? And finally, what's a pirate festival?

Hi everyone. We sail a Grampian26 out of the Municiple Marina in Bayfield Ont.
Heading out today for an afternoon sail although the winds are forcast to be
Light.

Great to hear from another Ontarioian.....
